- Description
- This chapter discusses various approaches to history teaching. It outlines some of the enduring debates over what, and how, history should be taught. A good place to start to understand the different approaches one might take to history teaching is to consider the recurring debates in the field. Walk into any history staffroom across the country, and you will hear the dilemma of how much content there is to cover. The well-rehearsed dichotomy of skills versus content that arose during the reforms has its legacy in debates over approaches to history teaching today. The celebratory reconstructionist shares with their students the story of the past as it is depicted in dominant discourses, either of the society in which they are teaching or the own social group. As a newly qualified history teacher, you will have to determine where you stand on a range of issues associated with the teaching and learning of history.
